Electrical Design Engineer (MV/LV)
MC Technology Staffing Highveld
Overview
The Electrical Design Engineer (MV/LV) will provide technical oversight, review, and approval of medium- and low-voltage electrical designs for utility-scale Solar PV projects. This role ensures compliance with standards, accuracy of design documentation, and support for commissioning activities.One engineer will be assigned per site.
Key ResponsibilitiesElectrical Design Review & Validation
- Review AC and DC electrical systems, inverters, strings, cabling layouts, and connection schemes.
- Validate Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), protection schemes, thermal ratings, and compliance with NRS and IEC standards.
- Ensure electrical designs are safe, efficient, and constructible.
- Review Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) documentation for electrical components.
- Verify Bills of Materials (BOMs) for accuracy and completeness.
- Support EPC teams in resolving design and documentation queries.
- Coordinate with civil, mechanical, and HV/utility engineers to ensure integrated design solutions.
- Provide technical guidance to EPC teams during construction and commissioning.
- Participate in design review meetings and maintain technical records of approvals.
- Maintain accurate records of reviewed drawings, calculations, and approvals.
- Ensure all designs and documents meet client specifications, internal QA/QC standards, and regulatory requirements.
Minimum Requirements
- BSc / BTech in Electrical Engineering (Heavy Current / Power Systems preferred).
- Approximately 10 years experience in electrical design for MV/LV systems in infrastructure or renewable energy projects.
- Proven experience with inverters, AC/DC design, string layouts, cabling, protection, and standards compliance.
- Proficiency in CAD, electrical design software, and load/thermal calculations.
- Knowledge of Solar PV electrical systems, protection coordination, and LV/MV integration.
